Eastern Airways to launch flights from Liverpool Airport

Eastern Airways has announced that it is set to launch its first flights from Liverpool Airport, linking the north-west hub to Aberdeen and Southampton.

The regional carrier will offer three flights to the cities from Liverpool every weekday from July 6th.

Chris Holliday, Eastern Airways' chief operating officer, said: "Launching our first scheduled flights from Liverpool is a major milestone.

"We're providing the fastest links from Liverpool to Aberdeen and Southampton, which are significantly quicker than alternative road and rail journeys. By offering three flights each weekday, business travellers will be able to spend a day in Aberdeenshire or in the south of England without the need for overnight accommodation."

It was also confirmed that, from the same date, Eastern Airways will be increasing its frequency of flights from Aberdeen to Southampton from two to five services each weekday.

The airline's expansion this year will boost its number of routes from Aberdeen to 13, meaning it will operate more flights from the airport than any other carrier.

Oslo in Norway is one of the international destinations that Eastern Airways serves from Aberdeen, along with Stavanger.
